Rueben Bain Jr: Generational

Bain was very good. But you must be young. Vince Worfolk, Russell Maryland, Cortez Kennedy, Jerome Brown Greg Mark, Rusty Medearis, and go way back to Ted Hendricks were all even more dominant. I’m not taking away from anything Bain did. We have had hall of famers.
I did say recent memory but you are not wrong. Of your names, Vince is the most recent and that was early 2000s. The other guys you mention are 90s and 80s guys.

I was only referencing Suh and Donald as recent all-time greats that Bain should be mentioned with.

It’s insane to me that guys who made hundreds of thousands and sometime millionaires of dollars can get cold feet about a guy with a year of dominate film and another year of probably the most dominate edge tape in the past ten years when you consider the competition all because his arms are an inch or two short!

That’s not even considering the intangibles.

I’d be taking him or Caleb downs if I had the first overall pick.
 
I didn't catch much combine analysis, but seems to me that the OT with long arms just gives Bain more arm to whack down and move on past. JT has really developed their slash moves.
Major reason why Bain's ghost move is so effective is because of his shorter arms. Makes for faster arm retracting and then re firing off his hands needed for this kind of technique.
